Truman's Trip Out

Truman's been with us for three weeks now! So we decided this past weekend it was time to get him out and let him see the world. There's a new attraction here in Austin at the old airport. They've built a small amusement park next to the Austin Studios with an Austin theme to it, I guess to attract more visitors. One of the things they have is called the Austin High Rise. It's a tower thing that takes you up so you can see the city and then drops you back down. They say it's 30 stories high:



At the park, they are letting the kids from Johnston High who are majoring in Carnival Arts at the tech school there work all the rides. They were a great help in getting Truman on to the ride. We think he really liked it. There was no sound on the camera that was attached to the capsule they put him in, but you get the idea of what a great time he was having dropping out of the sky.




Okay, just kidding. But he did take a ride in his stroller, which is still a big deal.

El, your namesake aunt had the same reaction. Glad to see our relatives have so much faith in our child-rearing skills!

LOL - please tell me you sped this up!

And sorry, Paul, I know I haven't seem many pics of you as a baby but i think those Lehmann genes run pretty strong.

PS I've had to spend about 5 minutes explaining to Jason that this post is a joke! Ugh - do those brain cells regenerate after so much sleep deprivation!?
